More statistics from the helpful staff at Epsom Racecourse:

Lord Rosebery’s 1894 winner Ladas started at 2/9, still the shortest-priced Derby winner.
The most recent odds-on winner was Shergar at 10/11 in 1981 and the most recent odds-on loser was Entrepreneur, who could finish only fourth when starting at 4/6 in 1997.

The Derby is usually won by a fancied horse and, in the past 42 runnings, the race has gone to the first or second favourite 28 times. The three longest-priced Derby winners, all
at 100/1, were Jeddah in 1898, Signorinetta in 1908 and Aboyeur in 1913. In more recent
years, the two biggest outsiders to have won the Classic were Psidium at 66/1 in 1961 and
Snow Knight at 50/1 in 1974.

The longest-priced placed horse in the Derby was the Clive Brittain-trained Terimon, who
fi nished second to Nashwan in 1989 at odds of 500/1.
